The Walking Dead: Season 2": What Lies Ahead
In the season 2 premiere, Rick and the group leaves Atlanta and encounter a threat on the highway the likes of which they've never seen. Elsewhere, the group search for a missing person.
My Thoughts:
an excellent start of the new season! I loved every minute of it! If you remember right... towards the end of the season 1 finale the scientist whispers something in Rick's ear. Well the very first thing in this episode you get teased with what that is... but they still don't tell us! I want to know what the big secret is! Oh... and the way this one ended! The very first episode of the season and we get a cliffhanger! I so can't wait till next week now!

Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.77:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1 Subtitles: None Stars:Paul Campbell Sarah Lind Julian Christopher JR Bourne Michael Teigen Leanne Adachi Plot:A group of young environmental activists become infected, ravenous, unstoppable zombies when a forestry company's genetic experimentation goes disastrously wrong. Sheer terror can't pump enough adrenaline through these bodies to help them out of this remote forest in this gruesome tale of horror. Severed stands heads (and other body parts) above the rest! Extras:Scene Access Bonus Trailers Closed Captioned My Thoughts: This is a zombie movie... but different. In this one they can put the zombie down permanently if they shoot them in the head or the heart. Which seemed strange to me. They also limited the amount of gore in this one. And a zombie movie with less gore don't cut it too well. It isn't a terrible movie... but it isn't what I would call great either. Maybe part of the problem is watching this after enjoying The Walking Dead so much. My Rating: 2.5/5 Count: Movie Count: 20 TV Ep. Count: 45 Other Count: 1 | | | | Pete |

It probably is...I'll let you know tonight . Wasn't  . The Inside The Walking Dead: Episode 201, “What Lies Ahead” was just a 5 minute "Featurette" with short interviews with each cast member regarding the first episode. As far as the first episode is concerned...well, both my son and I were a little disappointed. It was a big let-down considering how exciting the first season was...especially towards the end. This episode was slow moving and more character driven than anything else. Sure, it ended in a "cliffhanger", but I could totally see it coming...well, maybe not that exact outcome, but I knew something was going to happen to him. Hopefully next week's episode will be better. If not, then I just wasted $34.99 for the Season Pass  . | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

Video: Full Frame 1.33:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround Subtitles: None Stars:Bill Callaway Hans Conried Jerry Dexter Chuck McCann Julie McWhirter Don Messick Plot:When three teenage friends put their hands together and shout "whack-o!" they transform into descendants of Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Wolfman. Now dedicated to reversing the evil image of their ancestors, this new generation of crime-fighting monsters – Drak Jr., Frankie, and Howler – band together as the DRAK PACK! For the first time ever on DVD, this classic Saturday morning cartoon follows the adventures of this threesome as they travel around in their Drakster vehicle and use their new found supernatural and animalistic powers to foil the diabolical plots of O.G.R.E (the Organization of Generally Rotten Enterprises). led by blue-skinned Dr. Dred and his cohorts Toad, Mummy Man, The Fly, and Vampira. "It's right versus wrong; good over greed; niceness against naughtiness. That's the dedication of the terrific trio - the DRAK PACK!" Episodes: 1. Grimmest Book of Records 2. Dr. Dred is a Shrinker 3. International Grafitti 4. Time Out for Dr. Dred 5. The Hide Out Hotel Extras:NONE My Thoughts: I got this set for no other reason then nostalgia. I haven't seen this show since they originally aired. I was only about 10yrs old at the time. Since I haven't seen it since I was of course worried going into it... afraid it wouldn't hold up to my childhood memory. This morning I went ahead and watched the first disc of the 3 disc set. Which has the first 5 episodes of the series (out of a total of 16 episodes). I am happy to say that this series held up well for me. Sure it is silly... sure it is corny. But I also found it to be just fun. It reminded me of my childhood. I almost felt like a kid again watching it. So I enjoyed every minute of watching the first disc worth of episodes again. That however doesn't mean I recommend this one to someone that didn't grow up watching the series. I think this one is just for those of us that has fond memories of the series from our childhood. I will try to get Brittany to watch some episodes when I watch the next disc to give me more of an idea how someone new to the show would feel about it. My Rating: 4/5 Count: Movie Count: 20 TV Ep.

Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.78:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo, Commentary: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo Subtitles: None Stars:Misty Mundae Erika Smith Nikos Psarras Ronnie Kerr John Castine Deena Wolfe-Guerin Plot:"Sinful" marks the fifth screen collaboration between writer/director Tony Marsiglia (Lust for Dracula, Sin Sisters) and renowned 'B' movie actress Misty Mundae (Shock-O-Rama, Spiderbabe). Together they deliver a dark, brutal and vicious film that is sexually provocative and psychologically intense. It's a horrifying vision of maternal instinct gone past the edge of sanity - a story literally 'torn from today's headlines'! Lilith (Misty Mundae) cannot conceive a child no matter how hard she tries and how desperately she wishes. As her marriage begins to unravel, so does her hold on reality slowly and painfully and dangerously slip away. A beautiful neighbor who has just become pregnant befriends Lilith, and their relationship ignites a furious envy within her that turns increasingly threatening. Cursed with a body refusing to bear life and driven mad by psychotic fantasy, Lilith will stop at nothing to experience happiness with a child - any child. She will become a mother, right this very moment, however monstrous and shocking the consequences might be. Extras:Audio Commentary Feature Trailers Featurettes Production Notes Interviews Sinful at 2006 film festival Sinful Audition: Erika Smith My Thoughts: After watching this movie I am still not 100% sure of what all I saw here. A very weird film. I think I will have to watch it again with the director's commentary on to get all the finer points of the film. It basically felt like you were inside the head of a crazy person for the entire film. But even with that said... it had me glued to my seat. I just couldn't stop watching... I had to see what they were going to do next. This movie has a little bit of everything... it has a bit of blood... it has a bit of gore... it has nudity... all wrapped up in this surreal storyline. I did watch some of the extras on this disc. That is where I learned that the entire movie was shot in only 5 days. Considering the budget and the time they had... I am pretty impressed with it. As I have said... I have become a fan of Erin Brown (credited as Misty Mundae here). And I thinks she was right good in this one. I wouldn't say she was quite as good in it as she was in the Masters of Horror episode... as I really liked her in that. But it was pretty close. While I still think I need to watch it again... possibly with the commentary on... over-all I liked it. Glad I have it in my collection now. My Rating: 3.5/5 Count: Movie Count: 21 TV Ep.

Airdate: 10/30/07 Extras:Scene Access Closed Captioned My Thoughts: One of my all time favorite episodes of the series. It has a great story and it has a LOT of fun with Halloween. And I must say... Brennan looked great as Wonder Woman... as did Camille looked great as Cat Woman. Not that Angela looked bad as a Show Girl of course! Then there was Booth dressed up like a squint... which was very funny. This one is just an all-around excellent episode! My Rating: 5/5 Count: Movie Count: 21 TV Ep.

Babson Plot:A deadly mystery hangs over the Rill Ski Resort in Colorado after a young skier is found dead, killed by a mysterious animal! After more attacks, two ski champions (Bo Svenson and Yvette Mimieux) go into pursuit to stop the mysterious and elusive beast. Will they stop this beast in time...or will they die trying? Extras:Scene Access My Thoughts: This is a TV movie that I got as part of the Vault of Horror boxset. After getting the 2011 remake yesterday I thought I would watch the original followed by the remake today. It seems that TV Movies are usually looked down on. But I personally have always enjoyed a good TV Movie. The fact that they were originally made for TV don't bother me in the least. While this particular one isn't one of the best I have seen.... it is a little on the slow side for my taste... I still enjoy it. One thing that I personally always liked about TV Movies is that there is normally names I am familiar with from TV series and such. But not in this case. Unfortunately there is no one in this movie I really know from anything else. Over-all I enjoyed this movie... but it could have been better. My Rating: 3/5 Count: Movie Count: 22 TV Ep.

Hunt Kari Hawker Jason London Dale Thomas Plot:People disappear every year out in the snow, but now something is adding to the body count. Jim and his research team study the Canadian Lynx every year. This year, he has to take his rebelling 16 year-old daughter, Emmy, with him. But the lynx are missing. As Jim and his team try to find why, something stalks them—a predator like they've never seen before. Starring John Schneuder ("The Dukes of Hazzard," "Smallville") and Jason London (Dazed and Confused). Are you ready to meet the Snow Beast? Extras:Scene Access Bonus Trailers My Thoughts: This is a remake of the last movie I watched. I have to say I like this version much more. Not only do you get a more updated version... you get better views of the Snow Beast. A better... more interesting storyline and a bit more blood. But not to worry if you are the squeamish type. There is still very little blood in it. I also like the fact that this one stars John Schneider. I been a fan of his since he starred in the old TV Series The Dukes of Hazzard. Most people probably know him as Johnathan Kent in Smallville. Over-all liked this one quite a bit. can see myself watching it again. I am glad I have it in my collection.

Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.78:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo, Commentary: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo Subtitles: None Stars:Misty Mundae Duane Polcou Michael Thomas David Fine Erika Smith Plot:Veteran horror master Brett Piper (Screaming Dead, Bite Me!) unleashes his newest mad creation... a gruesome, grotesque horror comics-inspired monster movie adventure. Shock-O-Rama drips with bone-chilling terror and unearthly monstrosities and delivers it all with the outrageous special FX for which Piper is renowned. Axed from the movie studio that made her a household name, world famous horror actress Rebecca Raven (Misty Mundae) travels to the country for rest & relaxation - and a battle with a flesh-starved ghoul hungry to turn her into zombie left-overs. Meanwhile, the studio executives rifle through past productions to find a sexy new star for their next film, and two fright flicks grab them by the eyeballs. One of them features killer aliens crash-landed in a junkyard that wage war on its shotgun-toting owner with a 50-foot-tall demon borne of scrap metal and car parts. In the other, an over-sized, under-stimulated hunk of evil brain experiments on beautiful young women for the purpose of experiencing human sensual pleasure. Can these bloodthirsty creatures somehow be real? And will there be a brand new "Rebecca Raven" to send them kicking and screaming back to monster hell? Extras:Audio Commentary Feature Trailers Bonus Trailers Featurettes Interviews 6-Page Booklet My Thoughts: This is an anthology horror that I just got which has Misty Mundae in it. Needless to say it is a low budget release. This one I enjoyed quite a bit. Definitely easier to understand then Sinful was. I liked how they tied all the stories together... using a studio trying to find a new star so watching tapes of others work. My favorite story in this one is Zombie This which just happens to be the one with Misty Mundae. It is also a big part of the wrap around story. If you don't mind the look/acting in low-budget films this is one that I would recommend. I had a lot of fun watching it. My Rating: 4/5 Count: Movie Count: 24 TV Ep.

| | Posted: | | | | Well, co-workers going on vacation or calling in and such like have kept me from watching anything in weeks. But finally, here we are. Perhaps I shall just have to extend horror movie month into next month as well.  Title: House of WaxYear: 1953 Director: André De Toth Rating: NR Length: 88 Min. Stars: Vincent Price, Frank Lovejoy, Phyllis Kirk, Carolyn Jones, Paul Picerni Plot: In the wicked performance that crowned him the movie's master of the macabre, Vincent Price plays a renowned wax sculptor plunged into madness when an arsonist destroys his life's work. Unable to use his flame-scarred hands, he devises a new – and murderous – way of restocking his House of Wax. My Thoughts: I love Price as an actor, and he hasn't disappointed me yet. He gives a wonderful macabre performance here, alternately the debonair gentleman and a completely murderous madman, yet you can't help but sympathize with him just a bit as well. Seeing to the age of the film, there is no gore but lots of atmosphere. Recommended if you like vintage horror, or Vincent Price. My Rating: 3/5 -------------------- Count: Movie Count: 2  TV Ep.

This may be because it has been a very long time since I seen the previous movies. But once I got into the storyline I enjoyed it just as much as the previous movies. I love the combination of horror and action in these movies. Great visuals and action sequences that are just a lot of fun to watch. My Rating: 4/5 Count: Movie Count: 26 TV Ep.
